Tim, I've got the RCBS(Made by Pact), I notice in the instructions, it says when doing alot of measuring, that you have to recalibrate the thing, maybe thats the problem your having with yours, I recalibrate about every 30 measures, like weighing cases and such.Jay

Tim,
I have the LE-1000 by Lyman and it seems to work real well. If you want to bring your components to the match Saturday and stop by on the way home you can use it to load some up and see how it works for you.

Thanks for the offer Wayne, but I'm trying to get things ready to take to the Match on Saturday.

Problem at the moment is, I have no real idea of what my most accurate charge weighs. I can't even dump one, measure it and guess. I came home the other day ( right after I shot a 3.25" 800 yard group )to find the powder measure screwed most of the way in. ( don't you just love kids?)

Tried to sort bullets last night. Calibrated it and went to town. Pushing the zero button ever forth or fifth bullet. Must have got close to three hundred of them done. Got up this morning, recalibrated it and everything I tested weighed 1.3-1.7 grains less.

Doug, I've compared my 5-0-5 with my electronic, and she's right in there, I've read the same thing in my instructions that the factory recalibration is the best way, and I've done it so many times, I've got it memorized.

Tim:
I cannot tell what you equate "good" in terms of dollars, but, for the money, my Denver Instruments scale is repeatable to plus or minus .01g day in, day out.
